Upcoming Event: Calendar Change
Date/Time: February 22
Who it impacts: All Students
Overview: The calendar has us taking the day off on February 22 for teacher inservice (professional development). In the last month, our conference arranged the event we attended on January 19th, so we have switched these two days out. That means that we will be in school in February 22. Please change your calendar accordingly. If parents have already made arrangements to take their child(ren) out for the day and those arrangements can not be changed, we need them to contact the office to have the day excused. Otherwise, we are expecting all students to be in class on this day. We try to set our calendar a year in advance, and when changes like this need to occur, we are grateful for the understanding and the flexibility of our school families.

Taste of the Orient: Remember the meal scheduled for this Sunday evening, January 24, from 5:00-7:00. The food will be delicious. The Chef cooked a meal for the staff a couple of years ago. It was wonderful Asian food! Be sure to buy your ticket through the office and come for a feast and to help with the older students’ mission trip.
Offering for Haiti: We will be collecting the offering for ADRA to help the hurting people of Haiti next Friday, January 29.

Parent-Teacher Conferences: Remember we have conferences scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday, January 27 & 28. The students will be dismissed at 12:30.

News from Mr. O’s Desk:
Upcoming Event: January School Closures
Date/Time: January 18 & 19
Who it impacts: All Students
Overview: As we have every other year. we will again be closed the third Monday in January (the 18th) for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. In addition, please note that we will be closed January 19 as our employer is hosting professional growth meetings in College Place and our staff is required to participate in those meetings. This may be a good opportunity for parents to take a snow day and take their children out to Bluewood or one of the other winter playlands. We will provide childcare at a rate of $25 for the day. As childcare was over Christmas break, childcare again will feature crafts, games and activities to help the day pass more quickly.
Once again, we are offering a small discount to families with multiple children in the program. The second and subsequent children will be able to attend for $23. Please contact the office if you would like to sign up for this program as it is offered by reservation only.
Upcoming Event: A Taste of the Orient
Date/Time: January 24 – 5:00pm
Who it impacts: 9th grade and up... as well as all constituents
Overview: The 9th and 10th grade students will be hosting a fundraising dinner for the Mission Trip coming up in March of 2010. They will be heading out to Rosario Tesopaco (Ely’s home) where they will be adding rooms to the boys’ dormitory and starting a girls’ dormitory. Tony Salango, from Calgary Alberta, will be coming to our school to cater this event, and as he has done at all of his other fundraising dinners, he will be presenting his specialty, a variety of traditional Asian dishes and a few of his own concoctions such as vegetarian ginger beef (gluten) and butternut squash in coconut milk. The meal is a bargain at $18 per adult or $10 per child (10 and under), and includes dinner entertainment.You may purchase tickets from any of the students who are planning on going on the trip or you can contact the office to reserve your tickets. There are a limited number of seats available.
Upcoming Event: Parent/Teacher Meetings
Date/Time: January 27 & 28 – both afternoons
Who it impacts: All Students
Overview: On the 15th of this month the books will close for the second grading period. Following this, teachers should be able to gauge fairly accurately students who are unable to make the requirements to move on too the next grade level by the end of the year. Note that we have added a set of mid year parent teacher meetings to the calendar this year. Watch for notes coming home to set up these meetings. We arrange meetings, attempting to give parents their choice times, in the order that we receive the requests back in the office.
